Now offering reduced prices for prints made on two less expensive papers. A discount of -25% will be applied to prints made with the Canon Heavy Weight Satin rc material and the Canon Heavy Weight Matte paper. Since these papers are costing us quite a bit less than the Canson and Harmon art papers we normally use for projects, we can pass some of savings on to the client. The actual price guide will be updated accordingly in the near future to reflect the changes.

Our Agnostic Printmakers group has just put up the initial offerings for our new blog. It is designed to help students and artists become more familiar with digital workflows and printing considerations. It will be expanded with more content in the near future so stay tuned. Thanks to Walker Blackwell, owner of Black Point Editons in Chicago for designing this site.
Now using the Canon IPF 8300 44" printer for production edition work and excellent fiber gloss rendition. It also has much improved color gamut compared to previous pigment inksets. We are ulilizing the recently developed True Black and White rip software by BowHaus for clean, sharp, and tonally versatile black and white prints on the new gloss fiber media by Harmon.
A discount of 25% on all published prices for portfolios and books, when 10 or more images is involved, is available for students with a current photo id. Dual sided portofolio printing is also an option.
For the last couple of years I have been using Canson Rag Media from France almost exclusively for the cleanest and whitest paper base with no dye made flouescent whiteners. Canson is has been in existance as a fine paper maker since the Reanaissance, and as far as we are concerned produces the finest inkjet rag media in the world. It comes in various textures. They are the makers of the traditional Arches printmaking media.
I'm also now using the newly released Breathing Color Lyve canvas for the best canvas color gamut. It also contains more stable pigment whiteners rather than the traditional dye obas of other canvas products. With the Timeless acrylic/laytex varnish containing uv filtration, no plexi or glass is needed for long term display.
I had the great pleasure to spend a week with some of my favorite printmakers on the planet, Jon Cone, Tyler Boley, and Walker Blackwell. We all hung out together at the paradise setting of Cone Editions stuido in Topsham Vermont. It was a unique and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Jon has posted some documentation about our time together on his piezography blog. -
